Don't Breath Out

I am not rally into Hip Hop but sometimes a song from this genre comes around that is more than average. Roots Manuva is a Jamaican born rapper from London. I know him from various collaborations he did during the last years especially All Alone on Gorillaz. This is the first release from his newest album that will be released this month. It is a soulful song with a lot of violins including a sample from Barry White's Honey Please, Can't you see.

Enjoy and have a good week.

Take Care My Baby

Matthew E. White is back with a new album called 'Fresh Blood'. And he's back on a high soul level again. Smooth songs in the tradition of Isaak Hayes and Barry White (not with his voice - but his spirit). The first track of his latest record could be a classic if it was released 40 years ago. He's got the soul of the ones I named even if he was looking like a mixture of Bob Seger and Greg Allman. It's good old soul music played with a lot of soul inside. Worth to have a listen if you're in this kind of genre.
